Alternative social and reproductive niches linked to intra-sexual color variation in a facultatively protogynous North American annual killifish, Millerichthys robustus [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIntra-sexual variation in coloration is often linked to comprehensive differences in reproductive behavior and life histories. Both males and females can express intrapopulation variation in coloration, and facultative hermaphrodism adds further ...

Viviparity stimulates diversification in an order of fish
Nature Communications, 2016 Live birth and an annual life cycle potentially enable access to new ecological niches and subsequent species diversification. Here, Helmstetter et al.build the phylogeny for fish in the order Cyprinodontiformes and find that, though live birth and ...

Sexual Dimorphism in Fin Size and Shape in North American Killifish [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSexual dimorphism is intriguing because it suggests that males and females differ in phenotypic optima for traits and that sex‐specific trait values can evolve despite a shared genome.
